Why do cards go down in value? Supply and demand are supposed to be the reason. There should never be a reason for any vintage cards (1969 & older) to go down in value. They only keep getting older! Beckett price guide states that their regional coorespondents report back to them with card market activity. I am personally out at card shows on a regular basis for the past 22 years. I have spoken to 100's of dealers and not 1 of them have told me that a Beckett representative approached them regarding their card sales. What does that mean?

It only took the NY Mets more than 50 years, which translates to 8020 games to get their 1st no-hitter. Johan Santana pitched a gem last night (June 1, 2012) earning the franchises 1st no hitter. Johan struck 8 batters while walking 5 on his way to history. And he did it against the defending World Champions St. Louis Cardinals. You can check out many NY Mets collectibles as well as 1000's of other collectibles for sale on our website: RK Sports Promotions.
